They were telling lies to avoid losing face. Some Saudi tribes are like that.

Probably more than half of them anyway ~ definitely not Western in their outlook regarding public shame.

This may have been their first time to be embarrassed in public.

Most Freepers would have as much trouble in China. They'd come up with the "convenient lie" that allows you to save face, and you'd not go along with such nonsense. There'd be many nights in jail.

Worst job in the world has to be the US consul who bails American businessmen and tourists out of Far Eastern and Middle Eastern slammers.

Regardless of their public shame, isn't it perfectly acceptable, per the tenets of Islam, to lie to infidels? In this case, or any other?

Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test. These perps spoke at least two languages and had traveled from SA around the world to settle in FLA. They have apratments and pay utilities. THESE were terrorist operatives. They belong in Gitmo until every shred of information is sweated out of them or chemically removed from their brains. DHS should have a list of every Saudi or other Arab and every Iranian in the US, their ages, pictures, and current activities. Sadly, the democrats and their liberal lickspittlists will scream that this is profiling ... and it is and it is exactly how you prevent Breslan days from happening.
